Marriage--Gay, Straight--And The Bible : Re: You see the difference

You'll enjoy this (I hope):

This morning, while waiting for a city bus, I was approached by a Jehovah's Witness. Pretty young woman, mid twenties, I would guess. She asked if I had ever read Watchtower magazine. Of course I have, I told her. We began to chat since I had a few minutes before the bus arrival. I mentioned that I had been carrying on a dialogue with you and asked her how she felt about mainline Christianity, in all its forms. She said, "They have all misinterpreted the Scriptures. We came into being to help reshape and reinterpret God's Word." And she went on to tell me how her Truth was the only Truth.

My Mormon friends and my Catholic friends all say the same thing: we have the Truth.

In fact, none of you does! Truth is unknowable, if there is such a thing. We are all students, especially those of us who claim to be teachers.

As far as playing craps with my salvation, if God really would create a creature that could do that (and I'm repeating myself here), I would want nothing to do with that god. I remain firm and will never yield to Christian nonsense again.

Have a great weekend! I am going to the beautiful Oregon Coast to present the New Thought message to a wonderful little Unity Church there. They have asked me back on a monthly basis for the past five years. This weekend begins my sixth.

I know that you and I are both "Safe in the Lord," even if you don't accept that.
